Newcastle Will Not Be Signing This Player Tonight

French club Marseilles have said that their Ghanaian International forward Andre Ayew, will be staying at the club and that Marseilles have seen off interest from both Newcastle and Liverpool.

Andre Ayew -staying at Marseilles Both Liverpool and Newcastle had made contact with Ayew’s agents on a possible deal, and while Liverpool had other targets which they have since signed, Newcatsle have still to make their first permanent signing of the summer, and there’s just over four hours left in this window.

What have we been doing for the last three months?

Ayew had admitted earlier in the summer that he would be interested in a move away from Marseilles, especially if a bid came in from Liveprool (what?).

This is the statement Marseilles have just issued:

“Despite several enquiries from European clubs in recent weeks, OM are pleased to announce that Andre Ayew will continue his adventure at his first club”

So here is another player to tick off the list of those who are not coming to Newcastle, and he joins Bafe Gomis, out top target, who is already on that list.

So maybe our best bet now of a signing in the next four hours is Tom Ince of Blackpool.

But why it has come down to the last four hours of the transfer window, and we still haven’t signed the striker we so desperately need, is not good – and we’ll leave it at that.

Actually…I believe as it stands we’ve spent more on transfers than both Man Utd and Arsenal. Our £2M loan fee for Remy trumps their meagre incomings I believe. Of course that will change in the next few hours…but just making the point…

Glad im at work… else id be sat at home sinking deeper and deeper into my sofa, as the cold realisation that remys gunna be our only signing sets in. Its savage that this eve, I will have spent more on my sandwich, than the toon av on permanent transfers…

On sky sports earlier they had a doctor on who worked for Liverpool doing medicals and he said that they want players there by 5o clock but could do it an hour or 2 later.. Well it’s 7 now, can you see us agreeing a fee and a medical… No

I see a a couple of club stooges on here are still defending the regime despite their record of a consistent dereliction of duty, negligence and wanton contempt for the fans who want to see their passion and money converted into an ambitious plan for the progression of the club.

o.k….so we judge jfk by signings this window ? i know we have a good team dont get me wrong but with us signing no one this window means we have learnt fk all and even i who see both positive and negative in things think this is taking the p*&s !!!!!

just 1 player and i’ll be half moaning that its been a bad window ect but with not one player (apart from a borrowed player) is dire even by our standards.

With a bit of luck Kinnear will resign at midnight over his failure to bring in any of the alleged targets. Pardew’s sacking will take longer, mainly due to the international break and will follow our next defeat at Aston Villa. Newcastle it seems is not an attractive destination for any of our main targets and really – who can blame them !!

health update

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and completed four months of chemotherapy in late July and will continue to have hormone treatment.

The cancer spread in the bones, but after having a number of CATscans last Friday the cancer has been stabilized and as of April 24th, 2018 it has not spread further.

There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer so I will continue to have CATscans and bone scans about every four months to check on the cancer.

It is as it is - I will do my best under the circumstances - it's another challenge.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
